Source says policy address will include increase, with 15,000 local places unaffected, as part of aim to boost global education hub status
Hong Kong’s leader will further increase the non-local student quota to a maximum of 50 per cent in next Wednesday’s policy address, while the number of places for local students will remain unchanged, the Post has learned.
A source close to the matter told the Post that Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu would announce an increase in the non-local student ratio to no more than 50 per cent, emphasising that local students would not be affected as their annual quota of 15,000 places would remain the same.
“The non-local students are not necessarily from the mainland; they can be from the Belt and Road countries and the United States,” the insider said.
